   If you use wmic anyhow, you can also use it to directly   
   get the date:   
      
   @echo off   
   for /f "tokens=*" %%i in ('wmic os get LocalDateTime /value^|find  "l"') do   
   set %%i   
   echo  year=%localdatetime:~0,4%   
   echo month=%localdatetime:~4,2%   
   echo   day=%localdatetime:~6,2%
